Verdict
ONLY FOR LOVE made a winning start over timber at Uttoxeter having won a bumper at the same track earlier last month. Nicky Henderson’s mare is penalised for that success but is still preferred to Juwireya, third at Ffos Las on her latest start. Point-to-point winner Leighton Lass makes her debut under Rules for Dan Skelton while Fast Scat was a well beaten second at Ludlow back in October. Marguerite St Just raced 13 times on the Flat without success though was placed in a point-to-point last month.
